Teambuilding

Teambuilding is the active process designed to improve productivity and build relationships by creating a climate that encourages and values the contributions of team members allowing the group to evolve into a cohesive unit and enabling them to reach their goals.

 

Teamwork

Teamwork is an integral part of today’s work, athletic, and educational environments.  In order for a team to be effective, each person on the team must have an understanding of what a team is and how the members of a team can work together to accomplish their goals.  Solid and effective teams not only share common objectives for accomplishing group tasks, but trust and support one another and respect one another’s individual differences and talents.  Good teamwork starts with good communication.  Good communications amongst team members is essential for building lasting relationships and team unity.

 

 

Achieving Team Building

Teambuilding is achieved by a variety of methods and approaches.  Most energy in team building is directed toward collaborating to solve problems, establishing trust, building relationships, and maximizing all members’ talents to achieve the team’s goals.  Other approaches can be taken to enhance task effectiveness, breakdown barriers, and open communications.

The teambuilding process starts with creating a relaxed climate for open communication where there is interdependence among members who have developed a trust with each other and a willingness to contribute because they feel they are an important part of the unit.  The ultimate goal is to enhance personal responsibility and commitment to the team.
